How does the Welcome Group work, what is expected from me as a member?

Our group continues to grow and we love it!! The Welcome Homeschool organization is a place where all of us work together to make it fun and interesting, a place of support and encouragement.

-Plan a fieldtrip or educational class.

-Organize one of our events for the year.... Holiday parties, end of year celebration and the annual kick off.

-RSVP for events AND follow through with your RSVP.

-Plan Activities for older elementary, middle and high school level. Some ideas for these age levels might be: oral reports, service projects, playing sports, organizing a career club speaker.

Q:

How do I go about planning a field trip or other activity?

A:

Our Welcome moms are doing an awesome job of planning events and fieldtrips! We like to schedule only one event on a calendar day. When planning an event, please check the calendar to make sure the date is still available. As our group grows, it is increasingly important to be diligent in attending field- trips for which your family is signed up. Some fieldtrips and activities have a maximum participant number and in order to be respectful of businesses that are inviting us in, or individuals that plan events, it is very important that the coordinator be alerted if you are unable to attend. This will enable a person on the waiting list to fill your space. Here are simple steps to help you plan a fieldtrip.

Choose a field trip destination.

Email Martha or Kara to make sure your chosen date will be a good fit for the schedule.

Line up details for the trip by contacting the place where the event/class is to be held.

Go to Welcome website and under “Calendar” select “Submit New Event” Fill in information, including as many details as possible. Please let us know more than time and date. Tell us some neat things we will see or do / Any online resources for pre or post visit / Set up a ‘Deadline’ for rsvp’s .

Looking forward to the coming year of field trips!! Thank you for all your help!!
